00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.140
 Please take your Bibles and let's open them up this morning to Genesis chapter 5.

00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:13.919
! If you are just joining us for the first time, we've been preaching through the book of Genesis.

00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:18.679
 We started chapter 1 verse 1 and we've made our way all the way to chapter 5.

00:00:19.420 --> 00:00:23.519
 And one of the benefits of preaching the way that we do, working through books of the Bible,

00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:27.640
 is that I feel like it really gives us a good understanding of the book as a whole.

00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:31.560
 And it teaches us to read our Bible and understand passages in context.

00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:37.219
 One of the challenges is I can't skip over difficult passages.

00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:39.480
 And that's good and bad.

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.539
 So this morning, we get to preach a passage, I get to preach a passage,

00:00:43.539 --> 00:00:50.200
 that if I were just picking a text on my own, I probably never would wind up here in Genesis chapter 5.

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:56.659
 But I hope what we'll see as we dive in together is that all Scripture is God-breathed.

00:00:56.659 --> 00:01:01.640
 and is useful for teaching, correcting, rebuking.

00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.200
 That the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

00:01:05.299 --> 00:01:07.420
 This Scripture is good for you.

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.200
 The Lord has good in it for us to see this morning.

00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.000
 So if you would, let's turn to Genesis chapter 5.

00:01:13.060 --> 00:01:17.400
 And I will read from chapter 5 through chapter 6 verse 8.

00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.259
 A little bit of a longer passage this morning.

00:01:19.260 --> 00:01:23.560
 If you're physically able, let's stand in honor of the reading of God's Word this morning.

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:33.040
 This is the book of the generations of Adam.

00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.420
 When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.

00:01:37.900 --> 00:01:39.700
 Male and female, he created them.

00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:42.879
 And he blessed them and named them man when they were created.

00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:48.000
 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness.

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.680
 After his image, he named him Seth.

00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:56.220
 The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years, and he had other sons and daughters.

00:01:57.160 --> 00:02:01.080
 Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died.

00:02:01.820 --> 00:02:05.160
 When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh.

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:10.340
 Seth lived after he fathered Enosh 807 years, and he had other sons and daughters.

00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.480
 Thus all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died.

00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.780
 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he fathered Kenan.

00:02:18.399 --> 00:02:22.819
 Enosh lived after he fathered Kenan 815 years, and he had other sons and daughters.

00:02:23.579 --> 00:02:27.459
 Thus all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died.

00:02:28.019 --> 00:02:31.519
 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he fathered Mahalalel.

00:02:32.179 --> 00:02:36.939
 Kenan lived after he fathered Mahalalel 840 years, and he had other sons and daughters.

00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:40.819
 Thus the days of Kenan were 910 years, and he died.

00:02:40.819 --> 00:02:45.180
 When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he fathered Jared.

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.759
 Mahalalel lived after he fathered Jared 830 years, and had other sons and daughters.

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.699
 Thus all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died.

00:02:56.739 --> 00:03:00.019
 When Jared had lived 162 years, he fathered Enoch.

00:03:00.799 --> 00:03:05.199
 Jared lived after he fathered Enoch 800 years, and had other sons and daughters.

00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:10.319
 Thus all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died.

00:03:10.819 --> 00:03:14.459
 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah.

00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:21.120
 Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah 300 years, and had other sons and daughters.

00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:25.419
 Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years.

00:03:26.180 --> 00:03:31.299
 Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.

00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:36.000
 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he fathered Lamech.

00:03:36.660 --> 00:03:41.080
 Methuselah lived after he fathered Lamech 782 years, and had other sons and daughters.

00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:45.840
 Thus all the days of Methuselah were 969 years, and he died.

00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:51.920
 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he fathered a son and called his name Noah,

00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:53.099
 saying,

00:03:53.099 --> 00:03:56.139
 Out of the ground that the Lord had cursed,

00:03:56.679 --> 00:04:01.179
 this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the painful toil of our hands.

00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:07.839
 Lamech lived after he fathered Noah 595 years, and had other sons and daughters.

00:04:08.500 --> 00:04:13.119
 Thus all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he died.

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:20.079
 After Noah was 500 years old, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:26.079
 When man began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,

00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.959
 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive,

00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.180
 and they took as their wives any they chose.

00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.000
 Then the Lord said,

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.579
 My spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh.

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.899
 His days shall be 120 years.

00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.160
 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward,

00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:51.480
 when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man, and they bore children to them.

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.720
 These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.199
 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:05.139
 and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

00:05:05.899 --> 00:05:09.079
 And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth,

00:05:09.740 --> 00:05:11.439
 and it grieved him to his heart.

00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.399
 So the Lord said,

00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:18.139
 I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land,

00:05:18.660 --> 00:05:22.620
 man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens,

00:05:22.819 --> 00:05:24.959
 for I am sorry that I have made them.

00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.959
 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.259
 The grass withers and the flower fades,

00:05:33.339 --> 00:05:36.300
 but the word of the Lord endures forever.

00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:38.920
 Father, we praise you for your word.

00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:42.720
 We praise you, Father, for your spirit.

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:46.800
 And we pray now as we receive this word,

00:05:46.900 --> 00:05:49.500
 would you speak to us through the preaching of your word?

00:05:49.580 --> 00:05:54.540
 Would you empower it by your spirit so that we might see Christ in it?

00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:55.639
 We pray in Jesus' name.

00:05:56.580 --> 00:05:56.860
 Amen.

00:05:56.860 --> 00:05:56.980
 Amen.

00:05:56.980 --> 00:05:58.520
 You may be seated.

00:06:00.520 --> 00:06:02.140
 Well, you may have heard the phrase,

00:06:02.280 --> 00:06:05.800
 big problems require big solutions.

00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.640
 Or maybe you've heard it like this,

00:06:09.020 --> 00:06:11.120
 band-aids don't fix bullet holes.

00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:13.600
 Now, the bigger the problem is,

00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:17.140
 oftentimes the more drastic the solution needs to be.

00:06:17.259 --> 00:06:19.460
 And parents realize this as we raise our kids.

00:06:19.459 --> 00:06:24.139
 Sometimes a small infraction just requires a little bit of discipline.

00:06:24.299 --> 00:06:25.699
 But as problems start to mount,

00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:27.359
 instincts ought to kick in.

00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.239
 And you ought to realize something drastic has to happen here.

00:06:30.339 --> 00:06:32.439
 Big changes need to be made.

00:06:33.180 --> 00:06:34.099
 You see it in businesses.

00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.859
 Every now and then a business will run into issues.

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.299
 They'll start to flounder and fail.

00:06:39.299 --> 00:06:40.419
 And when that happens,

00:06:40.539 --> 00:06:44.599
 sometimes the only hope is that somebody recognizes it before it's too late

00:06:44.599 --> 00:06:48.240
 and steps in and starts to make some drastic changes.

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.340
 We see it happening in our government right now.

00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.379
 Whatever side of the political aisle you may find yourself on,

00:06:55.740 --> 00:06:59.019
 we can all agree our current regime recognizes,

00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:01.240
 believes that there are serious issues,

00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:05.240
 and they're taking some pretty drastic measures to correct it.

00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:08.040
 Well, here in our passage this morning,

00:07:08.699 --> 00:07:13.360
 we are seeing with more and more and more increasing clarity

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.699
 that we have a big problem on our hands.

00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.019
 Now, we're backing all the way up again,

00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:21.180
 all the way back to Adam,

00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:25.639
 and we're seeing this terrible reign of sin,

00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:28.579
 starting with Adam and continuing on down the line

00:07:28.579 --> 00:07:32.579
 in every single individual born of the line of Adam.

00:07:32.840 --> 00:07:34.500
 Things are not getting better here.

00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:37.040
 Things are getting worse,

00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:41.720
 and we see that a band-aid solution is not going to fix the problem.

00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:48.860
 And the big idea here as we look at our text is that God will judge sin.

00:07:50.180 --> 00:07:53.640
 God will address the problem of sin.

00:07:54.500 --> 00:08:02.340
 And the only hope for sinful people is that God Himself will provide a solution to our sin.

00:08:02.900 --> 00:08:06.780
 That God Himself will be gracious to sinners like us.

00:08:06.779 --> 00:08:07.879
 So let's look at our text,

00:08:08.019 --> 00:08:11.199
 and I want to look first at this genealogy in chapter 5.

00:08:11.259 --> 00:08:13.039
 We touched on it last time.

00:08:13.099 --> 00:08:14.599
 We were in Genesis two weeks ago.

00:08:15.019 --> 00:08:18.819
 And what I want to do here is let's just make a few observations here,

00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:23.239
 and then we'll spend the bulk of our time in the first eight verses of chapter 6.

00:08:23.339 --> 00:08:25.099
 So let's look at this genealogy here.

00:08:25.559 --> 00:08:27.839
 And I have three observations for us.

00:08:27.899 --> 00:08:30.459
 For one, I want you to remember here,

00:08:30.559 --> 00:08:31.259
 and this is important,

00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:34.360
 This genealogy is tracing promise.

00:08:35.259 --> 00:08:36.659
 You remember this from last time.

00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.740
 The genealogy is a long list of names.

00:08:39.860 --> 00:08:41.759
 It's not just tracing history,

00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:42.919
 although it is history.

00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.480
 It's tracing promise.

00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:47.500
 We now know,

00:08:47.620 --> 00:08:49.259
 Genesis 3 verse 15,

00:08:49.379 --> 00:08:52.840
 God has promised us that a sin-defeating,

00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:54.899
 curse-destroying,

00:08:55.439 --> 00:08:57.259
 snake-crushing Messiah

00:08:57.259 --> 00:08:58.720
 is going to come.

00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:00.840
 God promised us this in Genesis 3 verse 15.

00:09:01.259 --> 00:09:05.919
 There is hope now that things won't always be this way.

00:09:06.819 --> 00:09:09.419
 What's been broken will one day be restored.

00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:11.639
 There's hope that on this side of the fall,

00:09:11.779 --> 00:09:13.679
 things are going to get better,

00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.120
 even if at the moment it looks impossible.

00:09:16.939 --> 00:09:18.080
 God's promised it.

00:09:18.899 --> 00:09:21.600
 And what we've seen is that this promised offspring

00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.919
 will come through the line of Seth,

00:09:25.419 --> 00:09:28.259
 which is why, if we look here again in chapter 5,

00:09:28.319 --> 00:09:30.379
 we're going backwards all the way to Adam,

00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:31.899
 and then he goes from Adam,

00:09:31.899 --> 00:09:33.500
 not to Cain,

00:09:34.059 --> 00:09:35.679
 and not to Abel,

00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.519
 but from Adam to Seth.

00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:40.939
 He's tracing this line of promise

00:09:40.939 --> 00:09:43.059
 now through the line of Seth.

00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.019
 And from Seth on down the line,

00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.179
 ultimately now to Noah.

00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:50.299
 And did you notice just the tone of Lamech

00:09:50.299 --> 00:09:52.580
 as he talked about his son Noah?

00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:54.019
 Did you hear what he said?

00:09:54.019 --> 00:09:56.899
 Look at his words there in verse 29 of chapter 5.

00:09:58.059 --> 00:09:58.659
 He said,

00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:01.039
 This one will bring us relief.

00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:06.039
 This one will bring us rest from our painful toil,

00:10:06.220 --> 00:10:07.899
 relief from the thorns and thistles

00:10:07.899 --> 00:10:09.179
 that have come because of sin.

00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:12.100
 He's longing for the rest and the relief

00:10:12.100 --> 00:10:15.460
 that ultimately only the promised seed of the woman

00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:16.720
 is going to come and to give.

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.700
 So, the line is tracing promise.

00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:21.860
 Another observation here,

00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:22.420
 number two,

00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.040
 notice the presence of death.

00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:26.920
 Notice the reign of death

00:10:26.920 --> 00:10:29.000
 over all that are born from Adam.

00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.460
 Hope deferred makes the heart sick.

00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.779
 Every offspring of the woman

00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:35.000
 here in the line of Adam,

00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:36.440
 here in the line of Seth,

00:10:36.560 --> 00:10:37.980
 came with this expectation

00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:40.040
 that maybe this will be the one,

00:10:40.160 --> 00:10:41.720
 but tragically what we see

00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:45.420
 is death reigns over all of them.

00:10:46.860 --> 00:10:47.820
 It's interesting, you know,

00:10:47.860 --> 00:10:49.240
 as we read this,

00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:50.420
 you know what stands out to us?

00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:54.220
 It's those long spans of life, isn't it?

00:10:54.980 --> 00:10:56.360
 And that's what stands out most to us.

00:10:56.379 --> 00:10:58.519
 We got 930 years of life.

00:10:58.580 --> 00:10:59.220
 These guys are waiting

00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:00.879
 until they're like 500 years

00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:02.300
 before they get married and have kids.

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.519
 930 years, 807 years, 912 years.

00:11:06.560 --> 00:11:07.860
 That's what stands out to us,

00:11:07.860 --> 00:11:09.740
 but we should remember where we are.

00:11:09.740 --> 00:11:12.480
 We are inches away from the Garden of Eden.

00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.480
 We are just steps away from the tree of life

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.700
 and this promise of eternal life.

00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:22.480
 Death is the stranger here.

00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.120
 Death is the disruption here.

00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:28.740
 Death is not normal.

00:11:28.899 --> 00:11:30.940
 Death is not a normal part of life.

00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:32.240
 Death is a enemy.

00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.200
 And yet we see it reigning here over all.

00:11:36.259 --> 00:11:37.460
 All that is except for one.

00:11:37.460 --> 00:11:39.759
 So third observation here,

00:11:39.860 --> 00:11:42.320
 we notice the presence of hope.

00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:44.340
 Verse 24, chapter 5.

00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:47.759
 The strange story of Enoch.

00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:51.180
 Enoch walked with God

00:11:51.180 --> 00:11:53.220
 and he was not.

00:11:54.300 --> 00:11:56.180
 For God took him.

00:11:57.340 --> 00:11:59.280
 We have this constant refrain.

00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:01.420
 Generation after generation after generation.

00:12:01.419 --> 00:12:03.000
 He was born.

00:12:03.139 --> 00:12:03.939
 He fathered children.

00:12:03.939 --> 00:12:04.799
 And he died.

00:12:05.299 --> 00:12:06.199
 And he died.

00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:07.500
 And he died.

00:12:07.839 --> 00:12:08.719
 And he died.

00:12:08.819 --> 00:12:09.919
 And now Enoch,

00:12:10.419 --> 00:12:12.159
 he was not.

00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.059
 For God took him.

00:12:15.139 --> 00:12:15.479
 Now again,

00:12:15.539 --> 00:12:17.279
 I don't know exactly what this looked like,

00:12:17.339 --> 00:12:18.599
 but all I can say is this.

00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:20.779
 Enoch here gives us hope

00:12:20.779 --> 00:12:23.479
 that even on this side of the fall,

00:12:23.839 --> 00:12:25.159
 it is possible,

00:12:25.379 --> 00:12:26.579
 by the grace of God,

00:12:26.580 --> 00:12:29.060
 for sinners like you and me,

00:12:29.139 --> 00:12:30.560
 by the grace of God,

00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.060
 to walk with the Lord

00:12:32.060 --> 00:12:36.040
 and escape the curse of sin and death.

00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:38.980
 There is hope here

00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:40.280
 with the story of Enoch.

00:12:41.460 --> 00:12:41.940
 But of course,

00:12:42.020 --> 00:12:42.920
 what we see here is that

00:12:42.920 --> 00:12:44.480
 Enoch is the exception.

00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.560
 Sin and death are reigning over all humanity.

00:12:47.780 --> 00:12:49.680
 And as we look now to chapter 6,

00:12:50.040 --> 00:12:52.580
 we get to see just how big of a problem this is

00:12:52.580 --> 00:12:56.860
 and exactly what God is going to do about it.

00:12:56.900 --> 00:12:58.360
 So look there with me to chapter 6.

00:12:58.500 --> 00:13:01.020
 And I have three questions here

00:13:01.020 --> 00:13:03.259
 about chapter 6, verses 1 through 8.

00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.020
 And as you read these verses,

00:13:05.180 --> 00:13:07.200
 you probably have a lot more questions than that.

00:13:07.860 --> 00:13:08.120
 All right,

00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:09.800
 but I got three for us

00:13:09.800 --> 00:13:10.820
 and I'll do my best.

00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.220
 So we see the effect of sin here in chapter 5.

00:13:15.259 --> 00:13:18.580
 But now we're getting kind of a zoomed in picture,

00:13:18.580 --> 00:13:22.900
 an in-depth look at exactly what's going on here.

00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:24.420
 And I'll just go ahead and tell you,

00:13:24.540 --> 00:13:24.780
 all right,

00:13:24.800 --> 00:13:26.139
 this is my disclaimer to you.

00:13:26.379 --> 00:13:28.840
 These verses are hard, okay?

00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:30.820
 And these are some verses

00:13:30.820 --> 00:13:34.180
 that Christians sometimes back and forth

00:13:34.180 --> 00:13:35.639
 and they don't always agree

00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:37.560
 on the particulars of what's going on.

00:13:37.620 --> 00:13:39.060
 We agree big picture, right?

00:13:39.180 --> 00:13:39.980
 Sin is bad.

00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:41.379
 God is good.

00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:43.440
 God is going to judge sin.

00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:44.720
 We agree big picture.

00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.360
 But as we dive in,

00:13:46.379 --> 00:13:49.279
 in the particulars of interpretation here,

00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.540
 there are different camps, okay?

00:13:51.680 --> 00:13:53.360
 So let's read it again

00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.000
 and then I'm going to give you my best shot, all right?

00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:58.899
 Look there again to chapter 6, verse 1.

00:13:59.700 --> 00:14:01.040
 And I want to ask this question.

00:14:01.160 --> 00:14:01.980
 What's the problem?

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:04.060
 Question number one is,

00:14:04.160 --> 00:14:05.519
 what's the big issue here?

00:14:05.580 --> 00:14:06.180
 What's going on?

00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:06.899
 What's the big problem?

00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:11.879
 When man began to multiply on the face of the land

00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.180
 and daughters were born to them,

00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:18.019
 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man

00:14:18.019 --> 00:14:18.960
 were attractive

00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.139
 and they took as their wives any they chose.

00:14:23.160 --> 00:14:23.820
 Then the Lord said,

00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:26.040
 My spirit shall not abide in man forever,

00:14:26.160 --> 00:14:27.040
 for he is flesh.

00:14:27.139 --> 00:14:29.320
 His days shall be 120 years.

00:14:29.860 --> 00:14:32.279
 And the Nephilim were on the earth in those days

00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:33.519
 and also afterward

00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.080
 when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man

00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:38.740
 and they bore children to them.

00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:40.519
 These were the mighty men who were of old,

00:14:40.680 --> 00:14:42.960
 the men of renown.

00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.879
 The problem, we can agree clearly,

00:14:46.259 --> 00:14:49.500
 is that the sons of God married the daughters of man.

00:14:50.920 --> 00:14:54.660
 What's not so immediately clear is who these two groups of people are.

00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:58.420
 Who are the sons of God and who are the daughters of man

00:14:58.420 --> 00:14:59.860
 and why is this a problem?

00:14:59.860 --> 00:15:03.519
 So I'll tell you one popular way to understand this,

00:15:03.659 --> 00:15:04.759
 one popular interpretation,

00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:08.820
 and then I'll tell you why I don't think that this is the best way to understand it.

00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:09.159
 Okay?

00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:11.860
 The one popular belief

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:14.379
 is that the sons of God

00:15:14.379 --> 00:15:17.039
 are fallen angels

00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.639
 and the daughters of man

00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:22.059
 are human women.

00:15:23.199 --> 00:15:24.799
 And so in this view,

00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:25.799
 in this interpretation,

00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:27.139
 these fallen angels,

00:15:27.139 --> 00:15:30.240
 they see that the human daughters are attractive,

00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:31.860
 they marry them,

00:15:31.899 --> 00:15:34.019
 and then the product of that relationship,

00:15:34.299 --> 00:15:34.899
 verse 4,

00:15:35.139 --> 00:15:36.399
 is the Nephilim,

00:15:36.719 --> 00:15:39.139
 which in this view is this hybrid race

00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:40.719
 of like half angel,

00:15:40.939 --> 00:15:41.679
 half human,

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:43.779
 giant warrior people.

00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:44.620
 Okay?

00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:46.259
 That's one interpretation.

00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.039
 And so verse 3,

00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:49.220
 in response to this,

00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:51.100
 God saw this as wicked

00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:53.700
 and he brings judgment on the earth for this sin.

00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:54.279
 Now again,

00:15:54.659 --> 00:15:55.539
 just so I'm clear,

00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.539
 there are many who hold this view.

00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:01.639
 Many who are much smarter than me.

00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:02.120
 Okay?

00:16:02.220 --> 00:16:03.299
 And that's not saying much,

00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.360
 but many who are more intelligent than me

00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:06.519
 hold this view.

00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:07.480
 People I respect,

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:09.940
 people that have studied into this

00:16:09.940 --> 00:16:11.680
 probably deeper and harder than I have.

00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:12.899
 If you hold this view,

00:16:12.899 --> 00:16:14.939
 we can still be members of the same church,

00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:16.600
 that we can still be friends,

00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:17.439
 we can still get along.

00:16:17.699 --> 00:16:18.000
 Okay?

00:16:18.439 --> 00:16:20.179
 But let me tell you why I don't think

00:16:20.179 --> 00:16:21.720
 this is the best way to understand it.

00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:23.919
 For one,

00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.959
 Jesus tells us angels don't get married.

00:16:29.299 --> 00:16:30.159
 Matthew 22,

00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:31.399
 verse 30,

00:16:31.539 --> 00:16:32.799
 Jesus tells us that

00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:34.240
 in the resurrection,

00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:36.879
 people are like angels.

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:38.480
 How are they like angels,

00:16:38.699 --> 00:16:38.919
 Jesus?

00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:40.279
 They are like angels

00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:41.679
 in the sense that

00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:43.319
 they don't marry

00:16:43.319 --> 00:16:44.979
 or are given in marriage.

00:16:45.079 --> 00:16:45.519
 That's one.

00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:47.459
 Another reason.

00:16:48.299 --> 00:16:49.059
 Verse 4

00:16:49.059 --> 00:16:51.059
 clearly tells us

00:16:51.059 --> 00:16:52.179
 that the Nephilim,

00:16:52.819 --> 00:16:53.740
 whoever they are,

00:16:53.819 --> 00:16:54.539
 whatever they are,

00:16:54.599 --> 00:16:56.079
 they are not the result

00:16:56.079 --> 00:16:57.539
 of this relationship.

00:16:57.819 --> 00:16:58.299
 Read it again.

00:16:58.379 --> 00:16:58.759
 Verse 4.

00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:00.939
 He tells us the Nephilim

00:17:00.939 --> 00:17:02.699
 were on the earth

00:17:02.699 --> 00:17:04.139
 in those days.

00:17:04.220 --> 00:17:04.819
 What days?

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:06.579
 in the days

00:17:06.579 --> 00:17:07.720
 when all of this happened.

00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:08.819
 When the sons of God

00:17:08.819 --> 00:17:09.700
 bore children

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:10.759
 with the daughters of man

00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:12.439
 and also afterward.

00:17:13.679 --> 00:17:14.399
 So the Nephilim,

00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:15.200
 are you tracking with me?

00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:16.799
 The Nephilim can't be

00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:18.759
 the result of this relationship

00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:19.659
 because he tells us

00:17:19.659 --> 00:17:20.899
 they're already there.

00:17:21.579 --> 00:17:24.339
 Both before and after.

00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:27.319
 They're these mighty warrior men,

00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:29.139
 this warrior race

00:17:29.139 --> 00:17:30.259
 of violent people

00:17:30.259 --> 00:17:30.899
 that the Israelites

00:17:30.899 --> 00:17:32.480
 would have been well familiar with.

00:17:32.539 --> 00:17:34.159
 One more objection here.

00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:34.779
 And to me,

00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:36.759
 this is the biggest issue

00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:37.540
 for me here.

00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.140
 If this is the problem,

00:17:40.820 --> 00:17:42.400
 if the problem is

00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.800
 that angels are coming down

00:17:44.800 --> 00:17:46.860
 and marrying human wives,

00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:48.660
 then why is God's judgment

00:17:48.660 --> 00:17:50.360
 not directed towards the angels?

00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:54.100
 We know what's coming,

00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:54.840
 don't we?

00:17:55.840 --> 00:17:56.920
 We know what's coming next.

00:17:57.019 --> 00:17:58.340
 Everything that follows

00:17:58.340 --> 00:18:00.960
 is that God is going to wipe away

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.660
 the entire population

00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:03.720
 of the earth.

00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:04.779
 All mankind

00:18:04.779 --> 00:18:06.620
 will be destroyed

00:18:06.620 --> 00:18:07.440
 with a flood

00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:08.560
 of God's judgment

00:18:08.560 --> 00:18:09.240
 with the exception

00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:11.340
 of Noah and his family.

00:18:11.460 --> 00:18:11.880
 Clearly,

00:18:12.779 --> 00:18:13.720
 this judgment

00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:14.880
 isn't directed

00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:16.120
 towards angels

00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:17.519
 and their wickedness.

00:18:17.580 --> 00:18:18.420
 It is directed

00:18:18.420 --> 00:18:19.960
 against humans

00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.160
 and our wickedness.

00:18:22.300 --> 00:18:22.519
 Why?

00:18:22.779 --> 00:18:23.180
 Because,

00:18:23.820 --> 00:18:24.480
 verse 5,

00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:25.519
 the Lord saw

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:26.599
 that the wickedness

00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:27.860
 of man

00:18:27.860 --> 00:18:29.519
 was great in the earth

00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:31.440
 and that every intention

00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:32.799
 of the thoughts

00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:33.799
 of his heart

00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:35.680
 was only evil.

00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:37.000
 Continually,

00:18:37.099 --> 00:18:38.000
 we'll come back to that.

00:18:39.460 --> 00:18:39.980
 So,

00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:40.759
 if that's not

00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:41.900
 what's happening here,

00:18:41.940 --> 00:18:42.920
 then what's the problem?

00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:45.980
 What's going on here?

00:18:46.140 --> 00:18:46.599
 And this is,

00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:46.819
 again,

00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:47.860
 this is why context

00:18:47.860 --> 00:18:49.200
 is so important.

00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:49.720
 Church.

00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:50.840
 The Bible

00:18:50.840 --> 00:18:52.319
 is not just

00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:53.779
 a bunch of loosely

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:54.620
 connected,

00:18:54.840 --> 00:18:55.660
 mishmash,

00:18:55.980 --> 00:18:57.200
 just assembly

00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:58.660
 of random stories.

00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:00.200
 The Bible

00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:00.740
 is not like

00:19:00.740 --> 00:19:02.100
 a greatest hits album

00:19:02.100 --> 00:19:02.960
 that's just composed

00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:03.759
 of singles

00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:04.960
 and put together

00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.240
 in one CD here.

00:19:07.819 --> 00:19:08.400
 The book

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:09.880
 holds together.

00:19:10.779 --> 00:19:11.319
 And if you ever

00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:12.380
 wonder what a passage

00:19:12.380 --> 00:19:12.920
 means,

00:19:13.019 --> 00:19:14.140
 what a difficult passage

00:19:14.140 --> 00:19:14.600
 means,

00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:15.960
 question number one

00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:16.980
 for you ought to be,

00:19:17.259 --> 00:19:17.400
 well,

00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.200
 what would context

00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:21.180
 lead me to believe?

00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:22.000
 The problem

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:23.480
 in my understanding here,

00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:25.660
 the problem

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:28.180
 is that the one

00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:29.660
 supposedly

00:19:29.660 --> 00:19:31.680
 godly line,

00:19:32.660 --> 00:19:33.920
 the line of Seth,

00:19:34.819 --> 00:19:36.340
 the line of promise

00:19:36.340 --> 00:19:37.519
 that was supposed

00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:39.340
 to be a glimmer of hope

00:19:39.340 --> 00:19:39.819
 in the midst

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:40.319
 of a dark

00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:41.140
 and fallen world,

00:19:41.299 --> 00:19:42.660
 this line of promise

00:19:42.660 --> 00:19:44.860
 is now intermarrying

00:19:44.859 --> 00:19:46.479
 with non-believers.

00:19:47.719 --> 00:19:48.879
 They are proving

00:19:48.879 --> 00:19:49.299
 themselves

00:19:49.299 --> 00:19:50.599
 to be just like

00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:51.639
 everyone else.

00:19:53.059 --> 00:19:54.399
 In my understanding,

00:19:54.539 --> 00:19:55.459
 the sons of God

00:19:55.459 --> 00:19:57.299
 here aren't fallen angels,

00:19:57.439 --> 00:19:58.359
 the sons of God

00:19:58.359 --> 00:19:58.539
 who,

00:19:58.799 --> 00:19:59.759
 as we saw last time

00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:00.579
 from chapter 4,

00:20:00.679 --> 00:20:01.299
 these are those

00:20:01.299 --> 00:20:02.579
 who began to call

00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:03.479
 upon the name

00:20:03.479 --> 00:20:04.319
 of the Lord.

00:20:05.619 --> 00:20:06.659
 The sons of God

00:20:06.659 --> 00:20:07.439
 are the chosen

00:20:07.439 --> 00:20:08.719
 line of Seth.

00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:09.979
 They are the faithful,

00:20:10.179 --> 00:20:10.599
 at least they're

00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:11.539
 supposed to be.

00:20:12.479 --> 00:20:13.059
 And the daughters

00:20:13.059 --> 00:20:13.579
 of man

00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:14.479
 are those who are

00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:15.819
 faithless,

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:17.259
 the ungodly,

00:20:17.420 --> 00:20:17.960
 and the wicked.

00:20:18.180 --> 00:20:18.920
 The problem here

00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:19.700
 is that there is

00:20:19.700 --> 00:20:21.240
 no distinction

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:22.559
 between the righteous

00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:23.500
 and the wicked.

00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:25.460
 They've all become wicked.

00:20:26.660 --> 00:20:27.240
 All of them

00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:27.960
 are polluted

00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:29.019
 with sin.

00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:30.559
 Now you see

00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:31.680
 how this is a big problem.

00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:31.900
 I mean,

00:20:31.900 --> 00:20:32.559
 just think about

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:33.440
 going forward

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:34.120
 throughout the rest

00:20:34.120 --> 00:20:34.740
 of Scripture,

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:35.920
 how the Lord

00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:37.779
 makes it abundantly clear

00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:39.339
 there must be

00:20:39.339 --> 00:20:40.380
 a distinction

00:20:40.380 --> 00:20:41.440
 between the righteous

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:42.180
 and the wicked.

00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:44.580
 Between my people

00:20:44.580 --> 00:20:45.160
 and between

00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:45.960
 all the rest.

00:20:46.059 --> 00:20:46.279
 He says,

00:20:46.360 --> 00:20:47.380
 purge the evil

00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:48.420
 from among you,

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:49.539
 he says in Deuteronomy.

00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:51.299
 As we go to

00:20:51.299 --> 00:20:52.019
 the New Testament,

00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:53.200
 2 Corinthians,

00:20:53.380 --> 00:20:54.299
 Paul tells us,

00:20:54.539 --> 00:20:55.500
 do not be

00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:57.220
 unequally yoked

00:20:57.220 --> 00:20:58.320
 with unbelievers.

00:20:59.779 --> 00:21:00.820
 A Christian

00:21:00.820 --> 00:21:02.120
 ought not

00:21:02.120 --> 00:21:02.740
 marry

00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:04.340
 a non-Christian,

00:21:04.580 --> 00:21:05.080
 Paul says.

00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:05.600
 Why not?

00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:06.900
 He says,

00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:07.740
 for what partnership

00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:08.600
 has righteousness

00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:09.599
 with lawlessness?

00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:10.139
 These things

00:21:10.139 --> 00:21:10.959
 don't go together.

00:21:12.259 --> 00:21:12.939
 What fellowship

00:21:12.939 --> 00:21:13.599
 has light

00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:14.539
 with darkness?

00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:15.459
 There's a difference.

00:21:15.539 --> 00:21:16.259
 There's a distinction.

00:21:17.339 --> 00:21:18.000
 What accord

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:18.919
 has Christ

00:21:18.919 --> 00:21:19.699
 with Belial?

00:21:19.919 --> 00:21:20.459
 What portion

00:21:20.459 --> 00:21:21.139
 does a believer

00:21:21.139 --> 00:21:22.599
 share with an unbeliever?

00:21:22.679 --> 00:21:23.199
 What agreement

00:21:23.199 --> 00:21:23.899
 has the temple

00:21:23.899 --> 00:21:24.439
 of God

00:21:24.439 --> 00:21:25.099
 with idols?

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:26.339
 For we,

00:21:26.619 --> 00:21:27.039
 church,

00:21:27.379 --> 00:21:28.419
 are the temple

00:21:28.419 --> 00:21:30.199
 of the living God.

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:30.980
 As God said,

00:21:31.059 --> 00:21:31.519
 I will make

00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:32.099
 my dwelling

00:21:32.099 --> 00:21:32.819
 among them

00:21:32.819 --> 00:21:34.139
 and walk

00:21:34.139 --> 00:21:34.879
 among them

00:21:34.879 --> 00:21:36.059
 and I will be

00:21:36.059 --> 00:21:36.579
 their God

00:21:36.579 --> 00:21:37.399
 and they shall

00:21:37.399 --> 00:21:38.480
 be my people.

00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:38.899
 Therefore,

00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:40.379
 go out

00:21:40.379 --> 00:21:41.480
 from their midst

00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:42.659
 and be separate

00:21:42.659 --> 00:21:43.579
 from them,

00:21:43.679 --> 00:21:44.359
 says the Lord,

00:21:45.019 --> 00:21:45.439
 and touch

00:21:45.439 --> 00:21:46.339
 no unclean

00:21:46.339 --> 00:21:47.079
 thing.

00:21:47.719 --> 00:21:48.219
 Then I will

00:21:48.219 --> 00:21:48.899
 welcome you

00:21:48.899 --> 00:21:49.439
 and I will be

00:21:49.439 --> 00:21:50.419
 a father to you

00:21:50.419 --> 00:21:51.039
 and you shall be

00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:51.919
 sons and daughters

00:21:51.919 --> 00:21:52.579
 to me,

00:21:52.719 --> 00:21:53.500
 says the Lord

00:21:53.500 --> 00:21:55.399
 God Almighty.

00:21:55.579 --> 00:21:55.959
 Do you hear

00:21:55.959 --> 00:21:56.599
 the distinction

00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:57.419
 the Lord's making?

00:21:59.059 --> 00:22:00.539
 There is to be

00:22:00.539 --> 00:22:02.299
 a dividing line,

00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:04.500
 a clear

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:05.799
 and obvious

00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:06.679
 distinction

00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:07.779
 between the

00:22:07.779 --> 00:22:08.340
 righteous

00:22:08.340 --> 00:22:10.019
 and the

00:22:10.019 --> 00:22:10.360
 wicked.

00:22:10.560 --> 00:22:10.820
 In fact,

00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:11.420
 this is what

00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:12.519
 was happening

00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:13.180
 here in the

00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:13.920
 local church.

00:22:14.700 --> 00:22:15.519
 This is what

00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:16.759
 church membership

00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:17.660
 does.

00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:18.799
 It's an affirmation

00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:20.200
 that you belong

00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:20.880
 to the Lord.

00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:21.720
 You are marked

00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:22.779
 off from the

00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:23.799
 unbelieving world.

00:22:24.840 --> 00:22:25.299
 The church

00:22:25.299 --> 00:22:26.259
 are those who

00:22:26.259 --> 00:22:27.080
 have been brought

00:22:27.080 --> 00:22:27.960
 out of darkness

00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:29.140
 and into his

00:22:29.140 --> 00:22:30.000
 marvelous light

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:30.680
 through faith

00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:31.720
 in the Messiah.

00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:31.920
 God.

00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:33.740
 The problem

00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:34.720
 here, I believe,

00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:35.620
 is that this

00:22:35.620 --> 00:22:36.579
 faithful, this

00:22:36.579 --> 00:22:37.539
 line of promise

00:22:37.539 --> 00:22:38.940
 is now intermarrying

00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:40.220
 with non-believers.

00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:40.799
 They are not

00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:41.839
 marrying within

00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:42.360
 the believing

00:22:42.360 --> 00:22:43.319
 community, those

00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:43.980
 who call upon

00:22:43.980 --> 00:22:44.500
 the name of the

00:22:44.500 --> 00:22:44.759
 Lord.

00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:46.160
 They are going

00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:47.620
 outside of those

00:22:47.620 --> 00:22:48.160
 who worship

00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:48.880
 Yahweh and

00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:49.860
 picking for

00:22:49.860 --> 00:22:50.779
 themselves wives,

00:22:50.860 --> 00:22:51.539
 whatever wives

00:22:51.539 --> 00:22:52.680
 that they want.

00:22:53.860 --> 00:22:54.480
 They aren't

00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:55.700
 seeking mates

00:22:55.700 --> 00:22:56.980
 primarily based

00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:57.579
 on spiritual

00:22:57.579 --> 00:22:58.620
 priorities, but

00:22:58.620 --> 00:22:59.500
 rather based

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:00.640
 on external

00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:01.619
 appearance.

00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:02.039
 And you

00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:03.039
 recognize this

00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:03.539
 is the same

00:23:03.539 --> 00:23:04.140
 sin of the

00:23:04.140 --> 00:23:04.880
 garden repeated,

00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:05.400
 isn't it?

00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:08.440
 Just as Eve

00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:09.880
 saw that the

00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:10.579
 fruit was to be

00:23:10.579 --> 00:23:12.519
 desired, saw

00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:12.960
 that it was

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:13.779
 good and she

00:23:13.779 --> 00:23:16.079
 took it, so

00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:17.160
 now the sons

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:18.359
 of God see

00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:19.220
 the forbidden

00:23:19.220 --> 00:23:21.299
 women, they

00:23:21.299 --> 00:23:22.259
 see that they

00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:23.319
 look good and

00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:24.400
 they take for

00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:26.180
 themselves wives

00:23:26.180 --> 00:23:27.200
 as they choose.

00:23:27.299 --> 00:23:27.640
 You see the

00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:27.920
 issue.

00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:30.460
 all are

00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:30.779
 wicked.

00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:33.140
 All are

00:23:33.140 --> 00:23:34.060
 ruled by

00:23:34.060 --> 00:23:34.600
 sin.

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:36.279
 There is no

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:37.140
 distinction

00:23:37.140 --> 00:23:38.660
 whatsoever.

00:23:39.460 --> 00:23:39.759
 So now

00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:40.480
 question number

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:40.860
 two.

00:23:42.380 --> 00:23:43.039
 What is the

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:43.920
 Lord's response?

00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:46.240
 What is the

00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:48.080
 Lord's response?

00:23:48.180 --> 00:23:48.560
 Look there with

00:23:48.560 --> 00:23:48.900
 me to verse

00:23:48.900 --> 00:23:49.460
 five, chapter

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:49.840
 six.

00:23:51.140 --> 00:23:52.820
 The Lord saw

00:23:52.820 --> 00:23:53.380
 that the

00:23:53.380 --> 00:23:54.220
 wickedness of

00:23:54.220 --> 00:23:55.200
 man was great

00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:55.840
 in the earth

00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:56.839
 and that

00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:57.779
 every intention

00:23:57.779 --> 00:23:58.559
 of the thoughts

00:23:58.559 --> 00:23:59.259
 of his heart

00:23:59.259 --> 00:24:00.759
 was only evil

00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:01.419
 continually.

00:24:01.419 --> 00:24:02.059
 Can we just

00:24:02.059 --> 00:24:02.779
 stop there?

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:04.919
 Let us let that

00:24:04.919 --> 00:24:05.480
 sink in.

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:08.500
 How bad has it

00:24:08.500 --> 00:24:08.879
 gotten?

00:24:09.379 --> 00:24:10.819
 Every intention

00:24:10.819 --> 00:24:13.240
 of every thought,

00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:15.459
 of every heart,

00:24:15.819 --> 00:24:17.519
 of every man

00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:19.659
 is only evil

00:24:19.659 --> 00:24:21.059
 all the time.

00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:21.819
 That's the problem.

00:24:21.819 --> 00:24:24.460
 the problem

00:24:24.460 --> 00:24:25.019
 here is that

00:24:25.019 --> 00:24:26.419
 all men

00:24:26.419 --> 00:24:27.960
 and women

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:29.579
 and children

00:24:29.579 --> 00:24:31.419
 have within

00:24:31.419 --> 00:24:31.939
 them this

00:24:31.939 --> 00:24:33.659
 dreadful

00:24:33.659 --> 00:24:34.659
 sickness

00:24:34.659 --> 00:24:36.200
 of sin.

00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:37.359
 And friend,

00:24:37.779 --> 00:24:38.819
 apart from the

00:24:38.819 --> 00:24:40.159
 grace of God,

00:24:40.399 --> 00:24:41.720
 that is our

00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:42.319
 problem.

00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:45.919
 the second

00:24:45.919 --> 00:24:46.319
 London

00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:46.939
 Baptist

00:24:46.939 --> 00:24:47.539
 confession

00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:48.679
 says it like

00:24:48.679 --> 00:24:49.000
 this,

00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:49.439
 says our

00:24:49.439 --> 00:24:50.419
 first parents,

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:51.200
 Adam and Eve,

00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:53.079
 by this sin

00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:54.119
 fell from their

00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:55.460
 original righteousness

00:24:55.460 --> 00:24:56.200
 and communion

00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:56.919
 with God

00:24:56.919 --> 00:24:58.099
 and we

00:24:58.099 --> 00:24:59.319
 in them,

00:25:00.740 --> 00:25:01.339
 we

00:25:01.339 --> 00:25:02.599
 in

00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:03.379
 them,

00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:04.960
 whereby

00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:05.919
 death came

00:25:05.919 --> 00:25:06.480
 upon

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:07.379
 all.

00:25:07.460 --> 00:25:07.720
 You want to

00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:08.200
 know why we

00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:08.679
 die?

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.439
 This is why.

00:25:09.939 --> 00:25:10.759
 All becoming

00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:11.619
 dead in

00:25:11.619 --> 00:25:12.099
 sin,

00:25:12.179 --> 00:25:12.539
 not just

00:25:12.539 --> 00:25:13.239
 physical death,

00:25:13.399 --> 00:25:14.299
 spiritual death,

00:25:14.659 --> 00:25:15.399
 and wholly

00:25:15.399 --> 00:25:16.539
 defiled in

00:25:16.539 --> 00:25:17.399
 all the

00:25:17.399 --> 00:25:18.439
 faculties and

00:25:18.439 --> 00:25:19.119
 parts of

00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:20.099
 soul and

00:25:20.099 --> 00:25:20.659
 body.

00:25:21.019 --> 00:25:21.959
 Every intention

00:25:21.959 --> 00:25:23.379
 of every

00:25:23.379 --> 00:25:23.879
 thought,

00:25:24.099 --> 00:25:24.939
 of every

00:25:24.939 --> 00:25:25.379
 heart,

00:25:25.579 --> 00:25:26.319
 of every

00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:26.739
 man,

00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:28.039
 only evil

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:29.379
 all the

00:25:29.379 --> 00:25:29.859
 time.

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:31.799
 Our own

00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:32.259
 statement of

00:25:32.259 --> 00:25:32.899
 faith says

00:25:32.899 --> 00:25:33.819
 something similar,

00:25:33.899 --> 00:25:34.339
 says this,

00:25:34.379 --> 00:25:34.759
 here's what we

00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:35.299
 confess to

00:25:35.299 --> 00:25:35.559
 believe,

00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:37.159
 as a result

00:25:37.159 --> 00:25:37.719
 of the

00:25:37.719 --> 00:25:38.419
 disobedience

00:25:38.419 --> 00:25:38.739
 of our

00:25:38.739 --> 00:25:39.479
 first parents,

00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:40.000
 Adam and

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.219
 Eve,

00:25:40.439 --> 00:25:41.559
 all humanity

00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:42.119
 are now

00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:42.659
 sinners,

00:25:43.259 --> 00:25:43.819
 not by

00:25:43.819 --> 00:25:44.460
 constraint,

00:25:44.579 --> 00:25:44.919
 but by

00:25:44.919 --> 00:25:45.539
 choice,

00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:46.539
 being by

00:25:46.539 --> 00:25:47.399
 nature,

00:25:47.980 --> 00:25:48.319
 utterly

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:49.119
 devoid of

00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:49.619
 the holiness

00:25:49.619 --> 00:25:50.480
 required by

00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:50.859
 God,

00:25:50.940 --> 00:25:51.960
 and completely

00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:53.519
 inclined to

00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:53.980
 evil.

00:25:55.339 --> 00:25:55.940
 Every

00:25:55.940 --> 00:25:56.460
 intention,

00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:58.440
 of every

00:25:58.440 --> 00:25:58.879
 heart,

00:25:59.159 --> 00:25:59.859
 of every

00:25:59.859 --> 00:26:00.299
 man,

00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:01.220
 is only

00:26:01.220 --> 00:26:02.220
 evil all

00:26:02.220 --> 00:26:02.779
 the time.

00:26:02.859 --> 00:26:03.220
 Do you

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:04.759
 see that

00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:05.139
 for what

00:26:05.139 --> 00:26:05.559
 it is?

00:26:07.779 --> 00:26:08.139
 Do you

00:26:08.139 --> 00:26:08.539
 believe that

00:26:08.539 --> 00:26:09.119
 to be true

00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:09.700
 about you,

00:26:09.700 --> 00:26:10.380
 apart from

00:26:10.380 --> 00:26:10.880
 the grace

00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:11.319
 of God?

00:26:11.380 --> 00:26:11.539
 Do you

00:26:11.539 --> 00:26:11.900
 believe that

00:26:11.900 --> 00:26:12.140
 to be

00:26:12.140 --> 00:26:12.580
 true about

00:26:12.580 --> 00:26:13.460
 you naturally,

00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:14.220
 by nature

00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:14.660
 and by

00:26:14.660 --> 00:26:15.100
 choice,

00:26:15.220 --> 00:26:15.920
 apart from

00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:16.420
 God's

00:26:16.420 --> 00:26:16.779
 grace?

00:26:17.779 --> 00:26:18.299
 This isn't

00:26:18.299 --> 00:26:18.759
 just a

00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:19.140
 them

00:26:19.140 --> 00:26:19.700
 problem,

00:26:19.819 --> 00:26:20.200
 this is

00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:20.700
 us,

00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:21.220
 apart from

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:21.580
 the grace

00:26:21.580 --> 00:26:22.019
 of God,

00:26:22.080 --> 00:26:22.720
 by nature.

00:26:23.140 --> 00:26:23.580
 Every

00:26:23.580 --> 00:26:24.240
 intention,

00:26:24.620 --> 00:26:25.259
 of every

00:26:25.259 --> 00:26:25.740
 thought,

00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:26.559
 of your

00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:27.039
 heart,

00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:27.900
 and my

00:26:27.900 --> 00:26:28.299
 heart,

00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:29.180
 is only

00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:30.340
 evil all

00:26:30.340 --> 00:26:31.019
 the time,

00:26:31.059 --> 00:26:31.559
 apart from

00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:31.940
 the grace

00:26:31.940 --> 00:26:32.360
 of God.

00:26:32.420 --> 00:26:32.620
 Do you

00:26:32.620 --> 00:26:32.900
 believe

00:26:32.900 --> 00:26:33.180
 that?

00:26:33.180 --> 00:26:36.980
 sin is

00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:38.220
 not like

00:26:38.220 --> 00:26:38.820
 what Thomas

00:26:38.820 --> 00:26:39.340
 Aquinas

00:26:39.340 --> 00:26:39.720
 and the

00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:40.140
 Catholics

00:26:40.140 --> 00:26:40.620
 said.

00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:42.980
 They said

00:26:42.980 --> 00:26:44.299
 that sin

00:26:44.299 --> 00:26:45.580
 just wounds

00:26:45.580 --> 00:26:46.140
 us.

00:26:47.299 --> 00:26:48.019
 It's a

00:26:48.019 --> 00:26:48.480
 wound,

00:26:49.100 --> 00:26:50.340
 a wound

00:26:50.340 --> 00:26:50.799
 that can

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:51.720
 be patched

00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:52.320
 up and

00:26:52.320 --> 00:26:53.560
 covered up

00:26:53.560 --> 00:26:54.340
 and cleaned

00:26:54.340 --> 00:26:54.700
 up.

00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:55.019
 It's a

00:26:55.019 --> 00:26:55.560
 wound that

00:26:55.560 --> 00:26:55.940
 can be

00:26:55.940 --> 00:26:57.220
 bandaged.

00:26:58.299 --> 00:26:58.900
 We prefer

00:26:58.900 --> 00:26:59.380
 to think

00:26:59.380 --> 00:26:59.740
 about it

00:26:59.740 --> 00:27:00.100
 like that,

00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:00.519
 don't we?

00:27:00.560 --> 00:27:01.220
 Because we

00:27:01.220 --> 00:27:01.720
 want something

00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:02.100
 that we

00:27:02.100 --> 00:27:02.440
 can just

00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:03.200
 improve

00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:04.000
 upon and

00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:05.200
 make better

00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:05.580
 and just

00:27:05.580 --> 00:27:06.440
 dust off

00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:06.960
 and try

00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:08.000
 harder tomorrow

00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:08.519
 and everything

00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:08.860
 will be

00:27:08.860 --> 00:27:09.340
 okay.

00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:10.480
 The

00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:11.019
 biblical

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:12.259
 understanding

00:27:12.259 --> 00:27:13.140
 of sin

00:27:13.140 --> 00:27:13.680
 is not

00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:14.400
 that

00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:15.200
 optimistic.

00:27:17.460 --> 00:27:18.120
 The

00:27:18.120 --> 00:27:18.299
 Bible

00:27:18.299 --> 00:27:18.900
 tells us

00:27:18.900 --> 00:27:19.380
 sin has

00:27:19.380 --> 00:27:19.860
 not just

00:27:19.860 --> 00:27:20.320
 wounded

00:27:20.320 --> 00:27:20.779
 us,

00:27:20.900 --> 00:27:21.420
 sin has

00:27:21.420 --> 00:27:22.240
 killed

00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:23.000
 us.

00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:25.160
 By

00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:25.600
 nature,

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:26.220
 we are

00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:27.019
 dead

00:27:27.019 --> 00:27:27.759
 in our

00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:28.620
 trespasses

00:27:28.620 --> 00:27:29.640
 and sins.

00:27:29.779 --> 00:27:29.960
 We are

00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:30.700
 not just

00:27:30.700 --> 00:27:31.480
 in need

00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:31.840
 of a

00:27:31.840 --> 00:27:32.360
 bandage.

00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:32.799
 We need

00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:33.059
 to be

00:27:33.059 --> 00:27:33.339
 born

00:27:33.339 --> 00:27:33.740
 again

00:27:33.740 --> 00:27:34.099
 by the

00:27:34.099 --> 00:27:34.379
 grace

00:27:34.379 --> 00:27:34.559
 of

00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:34.919
 God.

00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:38.639
 We have

00:27:38.639 --> 00:27:39.119
 to understand

00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:39.639
 the depth

00:27:39.639 --> 00:27:40.019
 of this

00:27:40.019 --> 00:27:40.519
 condition

00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:41.619
 that runs

00:27:41.619 --> 00:27:42.019
 through each

00:27:42.019 --> 00:27:42.299
 and every

00:27:42.299 --> 00:27:42.799
 one of us

00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:43.359
 because apart

00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:43.779
 from this,

00:27:43.859 --> 00:27:44.099
 we will

00:27:44.099 --> 00:27:44.439
 never

00:27:44.439 --> 00:27:45.079
 understand

00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:45.659
 the Lord's

00:27:45.659 --> 00:27:46.339
 response

00:27:46.339 --> 00:27:47.019
 to our

00:27:47.019 --> 00:27:47.279
 sin.

00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:47.619
 Look there

00:27:47.619 --> 00:27:47.919
 to verse

00:27:47.919 --> 00:27:48.279
 six.

00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:50.219
 It says,

00:27:50.419 --> 00:27:50.859
 the Lord

00:27:50.859 --> 00:27:52.159
 regretted

00:27:52.159 --> 00:27:52.599
 that he

00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:53.299
 had made

00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:54.139
 man on

00:27:54.139 --> 00:27:54.639
 the earth

00:27:54.639 --> 00:27:56.599
 and it

00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:57.099
 grieved

00:27:57.099 --> 00:27:57.459
 him

00:27:57.460 --> 00:27:58.880
 to his

00:27:58.880 --> 00:27:59.240
 heart.

00:28:00.860 --> 00:28:01.160
 Now,

00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:01.860
 you all

00:28:01.860 --> 00:28:02.319
 know I

00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:03.680
 like to

00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:03.819
 be

00:28:03.819 --> 00:28:04.340
 theologically

00:28:04.340 --> 00:28:05.019
 precise

00:28:05.019 --> 00:28:07.240
 and theological

00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:08.079
 precision

00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:08.819
 requires

00:28:08.819 --> 00:28:09.579
 here that

00:28:09.579 --> 00:28:10.640
 I say

00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:11.380
 something like

00:28:11.380 --> 00:28:12.600
 God is

00:28:12.600 --> 00:28:13.160
 totally

00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:13.980
 sovereign

00:28:13.980 --> 00:28:14.840
 and a

00:28:14.840 --> 00:28:15.480
 sovereign

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:16.039
 eternal

00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:16.860
 God has

00:28:16.860 --> 00:28:17.640
 no regrets.

00:28:19.180 --> 00:28:19.980
 God is

00:28:19.980 --> 00:28:20.799
 infinitely

00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:22.160
 satisfied,

00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:23.100
 infinitely

00:28:23.099 --> 00:28:24.019
 happy.

00:28:24.179 --> 00:28:24.459
 He is

00:28:24.459 --> 00:28:25.240
 happy

00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:25.579
 within

00:28:25.579 --> 00:28:26.379
 himself,

00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:26.719
 within

00:28:26.719 --> 00:28:26.959
 the

00:28:26.959 --> 00:28:27.399
 Godhead

00:28:27.399 --> 00:28:27.919
 for all

00:28:27.919 --> 00:28:28.059
 of

00:28:28.059 --> 00:28:28.480
 eternity

00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:29.199
 and an

00:28:29.199 --> 00:28:29.599
 infinitely

00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:30.079
 happy

00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:30.519
 God

00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:31.059
 feels

00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:31.839
 no grief

00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:32.299
 like we

00:28:32.299 --> 00:28:32.539
 do.

00:28:34.639 --> 00:28:35.379
 That's

00:28:35.379 --> 00:28:35.740
 correct.

00:28:37.719 --> 00:28:39.000
 But don't

00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:39.659
 miss the

00:28:39.659 --> 00:28:40.379
 point that

00:28:40.379 --> 00:28:41.019
 he's making

00:28:41.019 --> 00:28:41.539
 here.

00:28:42.879 --> 00:28:43.659
 What he's

00:28:43.659 --> 00:28:44.099
 doing is

00:28:44.099 --> 00:28:44.659
 he's using

00:28:44.659 --> 00:28:45.059
 as the

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:45.639
 Bible often

00:28:45.639 --> 00:28:46.639
 does in

00:28:46.639 --> 00:28:47.079
 an attempt

00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:48.079
 to explain

00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:49.000
 to finite

00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:49.759
 creatures

00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:50.980
 with limited

00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:51.799
 understanding.

00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:52.759
 The Bible

00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:53.259
 often

00:28:53.259 --> 00:28:54.339
 condescends

00:28:54.339 --> 00:28:54.819
 to our

00:28:54.819 --> 00:28:55.420
 level of

00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:56.000
 understanding

00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:56.500
 in order

00:28:56.500 --> 00:28:57.440
 to describe

00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:58.160
 to us

00:28:58.160 --> 00:28:58.900
 an infinite

00:28:58.900 --> 00:29:00.240
 and incomprehensible

00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:00.740
 God.

00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.559
 He's using

00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:03.220
 human

00:29:03.220 --> 00:29:04.480
 experience,

00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:05.900
 human

00:29:05.900 --> 00:29:06.579
 language

00:29:06.579 --> 00:29:07.680
 and human

00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:08.299
 emotion

00:29:08.299 --> 00:29:09.140
 to communicate

00:29:09.140 --> 00:29:09.859
 a truth

00:29:09.859 --> 00:29:10.379
 to us

00:29:10.379 --> 00:29:10.799
 that we

00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:11.440
 don't need

00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:11.940
 to miss.

00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:13.379
 Our sin

00:29:13.379 --> 00:29:14.960
 grieves

00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:15.400
 the Lord

00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:15.799
 who made

00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:16.160
 us.

00:29:18.180 --> 00:29:19.079
 God is

00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:20.279
 grieved

00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:20.799
 by our

00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:21.119
 sin.

00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:23.019
 He is

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:23.819
 opposed

00:29:23.819 --> 00:29:24.679
 to our

00:29:24.679 --> 00:29:25.000
 sin.

00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:25.579
 He's

00:29:25.579 --> 00:29:26.119
 offended

00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:27.299
 by our

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:27.559
 sin.

00:29:27.659 --> 00:29:28.339
 He sees

00:29:28.339 --> 00:29:29.000
 it and

00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:29.659
 it grieves

00:29:29.659 --> 00:29:29.959
 him.

00:29:30.059 --> 00:29:30.579
 He's against

00:29:30.579 --> 00:29:31.059
 us in

00:29:31.059 --> 00:29:31.579
 our sin.

00:29:33.059 --> 00:29:33.539
 Clearly

00:29:33.539 --> 00:29:34.019
 this is a

00:29:34.019 --> 00:29:34.599
 big problem

00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:34.919
 and that

00:29:34.919 --> 00:29:36.039
 big problem

00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:36.819
 requires a

00:29:36.819 --> 00:29:37.839
 big solution.

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:38.379
 So here

00:29:38.379 --> 00:29:38.779
 the Lord

00:29:38.779 --> 00:29:39.099
 says,

00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:39.619
 I will

00:29:39.619 --> 00:29:40.199
 blot

00:29:40.199 --> 00:29:41.079
 out man

00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:41.479
 whom I

00:29:41.479 --> 00:29:41.599
 have

00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:42.019
 created

00:29:42.019 --> 00:29:42.859
 from the

00:29:42.859 --> 00:29:43.259
 face of

00:29:43.259 --> 00:29:43.659
 the land.

00:29:43.779 --> 00:29:44.199
 Man

00:29:44.199 --> 00:29:45.500
 and animals

00:29:45.500 --> 00:29:46.439
 and creeping

00:29:46.439 --> 00:29:47.500
 things and

00:29:47.500 --> 00:29:48.179
 birds of the

00:29:48.179 --> 00:29:48.659
 heavens for

00:29:48.660 --> 00:29:49.060
 I am

00:29:49.060 --> 00:29:49.580
 sorry

00:29:49.580 --> 00:29:50.200
 that I

00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:50.519
 have

00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:51.060
 made

00:29:51.060 --> 00:29:51.360
 them.

00:29:52.980 --> 00:29:53.279
 Verse

00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:53.560
 3,

00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:54.160
 My spirit

00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:54.660
 shall not

00:29:54.660 --> 00:29:55.220
 abide in

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:55.860
 man forever

00:29:55.860 --> 00:29:56.200
 for he

00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:56.800
 is flesh.

00:29:57.300 --> 00:29:58.040
 His days

00:29:58.040 --> 00:29:58.519
 shall be

00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:00.800
 120 years.

00:30:01.019 --> 00:30:01.300
 In other

00:30:01.300 --> 00:30:01.560
 words,

00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:02.000
 the time

00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:02.500
 is set.

00:30:04.080 --> 00:30:04.600
 Problem

00:30:04.600 --> 00:30:04.940
 won't go

00:30:04.940 --> 00:30:06.279
 on forever.

00:30:06.420 --> 00:30:06.779
 The Lord

00:30:06.779 --> 00:30:07.300
 has set

00:30:07.300 --> 00:30:07.940
 a day.

00:30:08.320 --> 00:30:08.720
 The Lord

00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:09.200
 has set

00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:09.880
 a time.

00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:10.720
 The rebellion

00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:11.240
 will not

00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:12.019
 last forever.

00:30:12.140 --> 00:30:12.700
 The sin

00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:13.380
 will not

00:30:13.380 --> 00:30:13.779
 endure

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:14.200
 forever.

00:30:14.360 --> 00:30:14.640
 God

00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:15.480
 will address

00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:15.880
 it in

00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:16.640
 120

00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:17.540
 years.

00:30:17.800 --> 00:30:18.200
 The clock

00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:18.840
 goes off

00:30:18.840 --> 00:30:19.360
 and judgment

00:30:19.360 --> 00:30:19.980
 will come

00:30:19.980 --> 00:30:20.640
 upon the

00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:21.020
 world.

00:30:22.540 --> 00:30:23.120
 By a

00:30:23.120 --> 00:30:23.780
 flood of

00:30:23.780 --> 00:30:24.200
 judgment,

00:30:25.280 --> 00:30:25.600
 he will

00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:26.000
 wipe

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:26.900
 mankind

00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:27.840
 from the

00:30:27.840 --> 00:30:28.840
 face of

00:30:28.840 --> 00:30:29.259
 the planet.

00:30:29.380 --> 00:30:29.880
 I wonder,

00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:30.259
 does that

00:30:30.259 --> 00:30:31.140
 sound severe

00:30:31.140 --> 00:30:31.660
 to you?

00:30:34.340 --> 00:30:35.020
 In the

00:30:35.020 --> 00:30:35.540
 coming weeks,

00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:36.060
 Lord willing,

00:30:36.280 --> 00:30:37.080
 we'll get a

00:30:37.080 --> 00:30:37.840
 sense of just

00:30:37.840 --> 00:30:38.620
 how devastating

00:30:38.620 --> 00:30:39.480
 this was,

00:30:39.560 --> 00:30:40.300
 this worldwide

00:30:40.300 --> 00:30:41.500
 flood.

00:30:42.060 --> 00:30:42.520
 All but

00:30:42.520 --> 00:30:43.080
 eight people.

00:30:44.120 --> 00:30:44.360
 But you

00:30:44.360 --> 00:30:44.820
 can imagine

00:30:44.820 --> 00:30:45.320
 it now.

00:30:45.520 --> 00:30:46.140
 The whole

00:30:46.140 --> 00:30:46.880
 world.

00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:47.400
 This is an

00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:48.360
 undoing of

00:30:48.360 --> 00:30:48.900
 creation.

00:30:50.220 --> 00:30:50.800
 He is just

00:30:50.800 --> 00:30:51.660
 wiping the

00:30:51.660 --> 00:30:52.400
 slate clean.

00:30:52.540 --> 00:30:52.940
 He told

00:30:52.940 --> 00:30:53.280
 them that

00:30:53.280 --> 00:30:53.600
 the day

00:30:53.600 --> 00:30:53.980
 they ate

00:30:53.980 --> 00:30:54.180
 of the

00:30:54.180 --> 00:30:54.540
 fruit of

00:30:54.540 --> 00:30:54.880
 the tree,

00:30:54.980 --> 00:30:55.180
 they would

00:30:55.180 --> 00:30:56.160
 surely die.

00:30:56.259 --> 00:30:56.740
 And now,

00:30:56.940 --> 00:30:57.320
 he says,

00:30:57.380 --> 00:30:58.580
 within 120

00:30:58.580 --> 00:30:59.100
 years,

00:30:59.180 --> 00:30:59.680
 that bill

00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:00.160
 is going

00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:00.759
 to come

00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:01.259
 due.

00:31:04.700 --> 00:31:05.220
 Whatever

00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:05.720
 your sense

00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:06.140
 of how

00:31:06.140 --> 00:31:07.440
 devastating

00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:08.000
 and terrible

00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:08.520
 that was,

00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:09.259
 know two

00:31:09.259 --> 00:31:09.680
 things.

00:31:09.780 --> 00:31:10.200
 For one,

00:31:10.280 --> 00:31:10.800
 that judgment

00:31:10.800 --> 00:31:11.820
 was 100%

00:31:11.820 --> 00:31:12.360
 just.

00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:15.160
 Our sin

00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:15.800
 deserves

00:31:15.800 --> 00:31:16.519
 judgment.

00:31:17.019 --> 00:31:17.519
 And two,

00:31:18.779 --> 00:31:19.720
 this flood,

00:31:20.420 --> 00:31:21.380
 as horrible,

00:31:21.860 --> 00:31:22.759
 as devastating

00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:23.500
 as it was,

00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:24.360
 is just a

00:31:24.360 --> 00:31:25.420
 small,

00:31:25.620 --> 00:31:27.500
 small picture

00:31:27.500 --> 00:31:28.640
 of a greater

00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:29.740
 judgment to

00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:30.560
 come at the

00:31:30.560 --> 00:31:31.220
 return of the

00:31:31.220 --> 00:31:31.700
 Lord Jesus

00:31:31.700 --> 00:31:32.279
 Christ.

00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:35.220
 Let me read

00:31:35.220 --> 00:31:36.300
 to you this

00:31:36.300 --> 00:31:36.840
 passage from

00:31:36.840 --> 00:31:37.420
 2 Peter.

00:31:37.420 --> 00:31:38.080
 We read part

00:31:38.080 --> 00:31:38.600
 of it this

00:31:38.600 --> 00:31:39.240
 morning already.

00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:41.360
 He's referencing

00:31:41.360 --> 00:31:41.980
 the flood.

00:31:42.080 --> 00:31:42.720
 He says this,

00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:43.680
 scoffers will

00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:44.299
 come in the

00:31:44.299 --> 00:31:45.200
 last days

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:46.279
 with scoffing,

00:31:47.299 --> 00:31:47.960
 following their

00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:48.680
 own sinful

00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:49.240
 desires.

00:31:50.059 --> 00:31:50.400
 And they

00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:50.880
 will say,

00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:51.900
 where is the

00:31:51.900 --> 00:31:52.460
 promise of

00:31:52.460 --> 00:31:52.920
 his coming?

00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:54.620
 Where is

00:31:54.620 --> 00:31:55.000
 Jesus?

00:31:56.299 --> 00:31:56.980
 You said

00:31:56.980 --> 00:31:57.480
 Jesus was

00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:58.059
 coming back.

00:31:58.120 --> 00:31:58.539
 Where is

00:31:58.539 --> 00:31:58.740
 he?

00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:00.779
 For ever

00:32:00.779 --> 00:32:01.279
 since the

00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:01.900
 fathers fell

00:32:01.900 --> 00:32:02.259
 asleep,

00:32:02.339 --> 00:32:02.900
 all things

00:32:02.900 --> 00:32:03.480
 are continuing

00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:04.200
 as they were

00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:04.500
 from the

00:32:04.500 --> 00:32:05.079
 beginning of

00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:05.640
 creation.

00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:07.680
 They deliberately

00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:08.920
 overlook this

00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:09.980
 fact that the

00:32:09.980 --> 00:32:10.819
 heavens existed

00:32:10.819 --> 00:32:11.599
 long ago,

00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:12.500
 and the

00:32:12.500 --> 00:32:12.939
 earth was

00:32:12.939 --> 00:32:13.779
 formed out

00:32:13.779 --> 00:32:14.399
 of water

00:32:14.399 --> 00:32:15.119
 and through

00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:15.799
 water by

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:16.319
 the word

00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:16.939
 of God,

00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:17.960
 and that by

00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:18.740
 means of

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:19.319
 these the

00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:19.839
 world that

00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:20.659
 then existed

00:32:20.659 --> 00:32:21.759
 was deluged

00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:22.339
 with water

00:32:22.339 --> 00:32:23.159
 and perished.

00:32:23.619 --> 00:32:24.019
 Listen to

00:32:24.019 --> 00:32:24.319
 this.

00:32:25.379 --> 00:32:26.059
 But by the

00:32:26.059 --> 00:32:27.000
 same word,

00:32:27.539 --> 00:32:28.019
 the heavens

00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:29.079
 and earth

00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:30.019
 that now

00:32:30.019 --> 00:32:31.799
 exist are

00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:32.539
 stored up

00:32:32.539 --> 00:32:33.279
 for fire,

00:32:34.159 --> 00:32:34.799
 being kept

00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:35.200
 until the

00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:35.599
 day of

00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:36.679
 judgment and

00:32:36.679 --> 00:32:38.000
 destruction of

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:39.299
 the ungodly.

00:32:39.379 --> 00:32:39.700
 In other

00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:40.039
 words,

00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:40.799
 there is a

00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:41.899
 greater day

00:32:41.899 --> 00:32:42.680
 of judgment

00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:43.399
 yet to

00:32:43.399 --> 00:32:43.759
 come.

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:45.619
 There is a

00:32:45.619 --> 00:32:46.500
 more horrible

00:32:46.500 --> 00:32:47.659
 moment of

00:32:47.659 --> 00:32:48.399
 God's wrath

00:32:48.399 --> 00:32:49.180
 yet to

00:32:49.180 --> 00:32:49.539
 come.

00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:51.399
 There is a

00:32:51.399 --> 00:32:52.099
 greater

00:32:52.099 --> 00:32:53.159
 destruction of

00:32:53.159 --> 00:32:53.960
 the ungodly

00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:54.259
 and the

00:32:54.259 --> 00:32:55.119
 wicked yet

00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:55.799
 to come.

00:32:55.859 --> 00:32:56.119
 When we

00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:56.599
 look back

00:32:56.599 --> 00:32:56.899
 at this

00:32:56.899 --> 00:32:57.240
 and we're

00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:57.920
 in horror

00:32:57.920 --> 00:32:58.319
 of a

00:32:58.319 --> 00:32:59.379
 global flood

00:32:59.379 --> 00:32:59.859
 that wipes

00:32:59.859 --> 00:33:00.359
 out all

00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:00.740
 but eight,

00:33:00.899 --> 00:33:01.359
 we ought to

00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:02.059
 look forward

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:02.700
 to this day

00:33:02.700 --> 00:33:03.200
 of God's

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:03.680
 wrath and

00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:04.359
 tremble.

00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:05.139
 There's a

00:33:05.139 --> 00:33:06.000
 day of

00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:06.460
 judgment

00:33:06.460 --> 00:33:07.500
 yet to

00:33:07.500 --> 00:33:07.920
 come.

00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:12.079
 we should

00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:12.440
 look at

00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:13.539
 this wickedness

00:33:13.539 --> 00:33:14.220
 and realize

00:33:14.220 --> 00:33:15.680
 by nature

00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:16.220
 this is

00:33:16.220 --> 00:33:16.779
 our

00:33:16.779 --> 00:33:17.720
 wickedness.

00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:18.079
 Every

00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:18.680
 intention

00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:19.659
 of every

00:33:19.659 --> 00:33:20.119
 thought,

00:33:20.259 --> 00:33:20.960
 of every

00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:21.339
 heart,

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:22.159
 of every

00:33:22.159 --> 00:33:22.579
 man,

00:33:22.859 --> 00:33:23.799
 always evil

00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:24.559
 all the

00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:24.859
 time.

00:33:24.899 --> 00:33:25.480
 That is

00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:26.079
 us.

00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:28.899
 We should

00:33:28.899 --> 00:33:29.180
 look at

00:33:29.180 --> 00:33:29.460
 God's

00:33:29.460 --> 00:33:29.960
 posture

00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:30.899
 towards

00:33:30.899 --> 00:33:31.579
 this sin,

00:33:32.139 --> 00:33:32.720
 towards our

00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:33.259
 sin and

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:33.940
 realize by

00:33:33.940 --> 00:33:34.539
 nature,

00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:35.500
 God is

00:33:35.500 --> 00:33:36.579
 opposed to

00:33:36.579 --> 00:33:37.759
 us.

00:33:39.460 --> 00:33:39.799
 We should

00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:40.039
 look at

00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:40.659
 this promise

00:33:40.659 --> 00:33:41.559
 of coming

00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:42.319
 judgment and

00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:43.119
 realize there

00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:44.000
 is a

00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:44.779
 greater judgment

00:33:44.779 --> 00:33:45.619
 yet to

00:33:45.619 --> 00:33:45.980
 come.

00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:46.359
 And if

00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:47.379
 we are

00:33:47.379 --> 00:33:47.939
 wicked,

00:33:48.259 --> 00:33:48.480
 friend,

00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:48.919
 it is

00:33:48.919 --> 00:33:49.899
 coming for

00:33:49.899 --> 00:33:50.899
 us.

00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:53.279
 This

00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:53.819
 problem is

00:33:53.819 --> 00:33:54.460
 our problem.

00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:56.279
 And if

00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:56.639
 that is

00:33:56.639 --> 00:33:56.960
 true,

00:33:57.019 --> 00:33:57.199
 then we

00:33:57.199 --> 00:33:57.500
 have to

00:33:57.500 --> 00:33:57.899
 ask,

00:33:58.240 --> 00:33:58.559
 is there

00:33:58.559 --> 00:33:59.599
 any hope

00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:00.379
 at all

00:34:00.379 --> 00:34:00.899
 for the

00:34:00.899 --> 00:34:01.139
 wicked?

00:34:02.679 --> 00:34:03.359
 Is there

00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:03.839
 any hope

00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:04.220
 at all

00:34:04.220 --> 00:34:04.799
 for sinners

00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:05.419
 like us?

00:34:05.420 --> 00:34:05.820
 All of

00:34:05.820 --> 00:34:06.140
 us have

00:34:06.140 --> 00:34:06.820
 sinned and

00:34:06.820 --> 00:34:07.340
 fallen short

00:34:07.340 --> 00:34:07.580
 of the

00:34:07.580 --> 00:34:08.019
 glory of

00:34:08.019 --> 00:34:08.340
 God.

00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:09.280
 Every

00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:09.980
 single one

00:34:09.980 --> 00:34:10.360
 of us

00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:11.260
 is guilty.

00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:11.680
 Is there

00:34:11.680 --> 00:34:12.780
 any hope

00:34:12.780 --> 00:34:13.420
 at all

00:34:13.420 --> 00:34:13.840
 for a

00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:14.019
 sinner?

00:34:14.300 --> 00:34:14.659
 And we

00:34:14.659 --> 00:34:15.180
 know,

00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:15.880
 those who

00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:16.300
 know the

00:34:16.300 --> 00:34:16.980
 gospel say,

00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:17.700
 praise God,

00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:18.200
 the answer

00:34:18.200 --> 00:34:18.519
 is a

00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:19.059
 resounding

00:34:19.059 --> 00:34:20.079
 yes.

00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:22.720
 So question

00:34:22.720 --> 00:34:23.380
 number three,

00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:24.760
 what is

00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:26.079
 our hope?

00:34:26.500 --> 00:34:26.860
 Friend,

00:34:26.980 --> 00:34:27.840
 our only

00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:30.099
 hope is

00:34:30.099 --> 00:34:30.900
 the grace

00:34:30.900 --> 00:34:31.880
 of God

00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:32.519
 towards

00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:32.840
 sinners

00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:33.599
 like us.

00:34:35.420 --> 00:34:36.079
 The only

00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:36.680
 hope for

00:34:36.680 --> 00:34:37.039
 a sinner

00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:37.740
 like me

00:34:37.740 --> 00:34:38.780
 is that

00:34:38.780 --> 00:34:39.400
 God would

00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:40.240
 be gracious

00:34:40.240 --> 00:34:40.880
 to me,

00:34:40.940 --> 00:34:41.360
 a sinner.

00:34:42.740 --> 00:34:43.180
 That God

00:34:43.180 --> 00:34:43.500
 would show

00:34:43.500 --> 00:34:44.360
 mercy to

00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:44.700
 me.

00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:46.559
 In the

00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:47.139
 midst here

00:34:47.139 --> 00:34:47.480
 of this

00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:48.720
 universal

00:34:48.720 --> 00:34:49.680
 wickedness

00:34:49.680 --> 00:34:50.519
 and coming

00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:51.059
 judgment,

00:34:51.240 --> 00:34:51.639
 there is a

00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:52.840
 single ray

00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:53.480
 of hope

00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:53.800
 here in

00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:54.240
 verse 8.

00:34:54.300 --> 00:34:54.539
 Look there

00:34:54.539 --> 00:34:54.920
 with me.

00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:56.340
 You see

00:34:56.340 --> 00:34:56.519
 what it

00:34:56.519 --> 00:34:56.800
 says?

00:34:57.920 --> 00:34:58.380
 Judgment

00:34:58.380 --> 00:34:59.039
 is coming,

00:35:00.420 --> 00:35:01.380
 but Noah

00:35:01.380 --> 00:35:02.840
 found favor

00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:04.280
 in the eyes

00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:04.940
 of the

00:35:04.940 --> 00:35:05.320
 Lord.

00:35:05.420 --> 00:35:08.360
 just like

00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:09.240
 Enoch,

00:35:10.659 --> 00:35:11.059
 Noah

00:35:11.059 --> 00:35:11.780
 here gives

00:35:11.780 --> 00:35:12.380
 us hope

00:35:12.380 --> 00:35:13.820
 that even

00:35:13.820 --> 00:35:14.579
 on this

00:35:14.579 --> 00:35:15.180
 side of

00:35:15.180 --> 00:35:15.740
 the fall,

00:35:15.900 --> 00:35:16.519
 even here

00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:17.300
 outside of

00:35:17.300 --> 00:35:17.780
 the garden,

00:35:17.980 --> 00:35:19.059
 even here

00:35:19.059 --> 00:35:19.659
 with sin

00:35:19.659 --> 00:35:20.599
 running rampant

00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:21.300
 through us

00:35:21.300 --> 00:35:21.800
 and everybody

00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:22.280
 else,

00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:22.920
 there is

00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:24.220
 the possibility

00:35:24.220 --> 00:35:25.320
 that God

00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:26.519
 might show

00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:27.880
 favor to

00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:28.519
 sinners like

00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:28.800
 me.

00:35:30.539 --> 00:35:31.500
 We'll see

00:35:31.500 --> 00:35:32.260
 soon enough

00:35:32.260 --> 00:35:33.579
 that Noah

00:35:33.579 --> 00:35:34.059
 is a sinner

00:35:34.059 --> 00:35:34.400
 too.

00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:36.519
 Noah has

00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:37.059
 the same

00:35:37.059 --> 00:35:37.500
 problem

00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:37.900
 that we

00:35:37.900 --> 00:35:38.119
 do.

00:35:38.200 --> 00:35:38.480
 He has

00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:38.920
 the same

00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:39.460
 sin running

00:35:39.460 --> 00:35:39.900
 through his

00:35:39.900 --> 00:35:40.380
 veins that

00:35:40.380 --> 00:35:40.760
 we do.

00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:41.099
 He is

00:35:41.099 --> 00:35:41.960
 just as

00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:42.500
 deserving

00:35:42.500 --> 00:35:42.840
 of the

00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:43.340
 wrath of

00:35:43.340 --> 00:35:43.820
 God as

00:35:43.820 --> 00:35:45.000
 I am

00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:45.440
 and everybody

00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:45.920
 else,

00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:46.960
 but Noah

00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:47.599
 by the

00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:48.579
 mercy and

00:35:48.579 --> 00:35:49.200
 the grace

00:35:49.200 --> 00:35:50.139
 of God,

00:35:51.220 --> 00:35:51.740
 a sinner

00:35:51.740 --> 00:35:53.639
 found favor

00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:54.559
 in the eyes

00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:54.840
 of the

00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:55.220
 Lord.

00:35:55.219 --> 00:35:55.299
 God.

00:35:56.859 --> 00:35:57.699
 This is

00:35:57.699 --> 00:35:58.480
 the glorious

00:35:58.480 --> 00:35:59.919
 grace of

00:35:59.919 --> 00:36:00.939
 God on

00:36:00.939 --> 00:36:01.599
 display and

00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:02.159
 this is our

00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:02.779
 only hope.

00:36:05.019 --> 00:36:05.599
 This but

00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:06.599
 Noah, it

00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:07.259
 can be phrased

00:36:07.259 --> 00:36:08.159
 in a different

00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:08.739
 way and I

00:36:08.739 --> 00:36:09.099
 want you to

00:36:09.099 --> 00:36:09.559
 think about it

00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:10.179
 like this because

00:36:10.179 --> 00:36:10.779
 the emphasis

00:36:10.779 --> 00:36:11.779
 isn't so much

00:36:11.779 --> 00:36:12.959
 on Noah.

00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:14.039
 The point is

00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:15.000
 the astounding

00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:16.659
 grace of God

00:36:16.659 --> 00:36:17.539
 toward a sinner

00:36:17.539 --> 00:36:18.319
 like Noah.

00:36:18.459 --> 00:36:18.859
 Read it like

00:36:18.859 --> 00:36:19.279
 this and you

00:36:19.279 --> 00:36:19.779
 tell me if it

00:36:19.779 --> 00:36:20.299
 sounds familiar

00:36:20.299 --> 00:36:20.759
 to you.

00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:22.000
 Noah was

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:22.780
 as good as

00:36:22.780 --> 00:36:23.580
 dead because

00:36:23.580 --> 00:36:24.140
 of sin,

00:36:24.460 --> 00:36:25.200
 but God

00:36:25.200 --> 00:36:26.040
 showed favor

00:36:26.040 --> 00:36:26.540
 to Noah.

00:36:27.900 --> 00:36:28.940
 Noah is a

00:36:28.940 --> 00:36:29.760
 sinner deserving

00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:30.260
 judgment,

00:36:30.640 --> 00:36:31.420
 but God

00:36:31.420 --> 00:36:32.140
 showed him

00:36:32.140 --> 00:36:33.260
 unmerited,

00:36:33.580 --> 00:36:34.460
 undeserved

00:36:34.460 --> 00:36:35.160
 favor.

00:36:36.220 --> 00:36:36.800
 Noah had

00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:37.760
 earned himself

00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:38.280
 death, he

00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:38.980
 was guilty,

00:36:39.380 --> 00:36:40.140
 but God

00:36:40.140 --> 00:36:41.000
 gave him

00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:41.680
 life.

00:36:41.860 --> 00:36:42.440
 If you're a

00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:43.000
 Christian, that

00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:43.360
 ought to sound

00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:44.020
 real familiar

00:36:44.020 --> 00:36:44.720
 to you because

00:36:44.720 --> 00:36:45.320
 that's your

00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:46.020
 story.

00:36:47.660 --> 00:36:48.960
 Your story,

00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:49.780
 Christian.

00:36:49.780 --> 00:36:51.180
 is what we

00:36:51.180 --> 00:36:51.820
 sang just a

00:36:51.820 --> 00:36:52.220
 few moments

00:36:52.220 --> 00:36:52.600
 ago.

00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:54.780
 I once was

00:36:54.780 --> 00:36:56.140
 lost in

00:36:56.140 --> 00:36:57.180
 darkest night.

00:36:57.300 --> 00:36:57.860
 I thought I

00:36:57.860 --> 00:36:58.740
 knew the way,

00:36:59.060 --> 00:36:59.960
 the sin that

00:36:59.960 --> 00:37:00.960
 promised joy

00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:02.080
 and life led

00:37:02.080 --> 00:37:02.640
 me to the

00:37:02.640 --> 00:37:03.220
 grave.

00:37:04.380 --> 00:37:04.900
 I had no

00:37:04.900 --> 00:37:06.480
 hope that you

00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:07.019
 would own a

00:37:07.019 --> 00:37:08.040
 rebel to your

00:37:08.040 --> 00:37:09.019
 will and if you

00:37:09.019 --> 00:37:09.840
 had not loved

00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:10.740
 me first, I

00:37:10.740 --> 00:37:11.680
 would refuse you

00:37:11.680 --> 00:37:12.120
 still.

00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:14.300
 But as I ran

00:37:14.300 --> 00:37:15.000
 my hellbound

00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:16.019
 race, indifferent

00:37:16.019 --> 00:37:17.200
 to the cost,

00:37:17.560 --> 00:37:18.940
 you looked upon

00:37:18.940 --> 00:37:19.900
 my helpless

00:37:19.900 --> 00:37:21.200
 state and

00:37:21.200 --> 00:37:21.960
 you led me

00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:22.740
 to the cross.

00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:23.619
 You did it.

00:37:24.820 --> 00:37:25.860
 And I beheld

00:37:25.860 --> 00:37:26.700
 God's love

00:37:26.700 --> 00:37:27.400
 displayed.

00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:29.380
 You suffered

00:37:29.380 --> 00:37:30.880
 in my place.

00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:32.320
 You bore the

00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:33.179
 wrath reserved

00:37:33.179 --> 00:37:33.980
 for me.

00:37:34.260 --> 00:37:35.539
 Now all I

00:37:35.539 --> 00:37:36.679
 know is

00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:37.440
 grace.

00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:38.519
 Hallelujah.

00:37:39.420 --> 00:37:40.240
 All I have

00:37:40.240 --> 00:37:40.940
 is Christ.

00:37:41.820 --> 00:37:42.280
 Hallelujah.

00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:43.280
 What's the

00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:43.920
 response?

00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:44.840
 Hallelujah.

00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:45.119
 Hallelujah.

00:37:45.579 --> 00:37:46.559
 Jesus is my

00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:47.199
 life.

00:37:48.500 --> 00:37:49.400
 That is the

00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:50.179
 anthem of the

00:37:50.179 --> 00:37:50.980
 Christian soul.

00:37:51.359 --> 00:37:52.279
 I was dead.

00:37:52.779 --> 00:37:53.639
 I deserve

00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:54.179
 judgment.

00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:55.319
 I'm guilty.

00:37:55.460 --> 00:37:55.980
 I am wicked

00:37:55.980 --> 00:37:56.619
 to the core.

00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:57.440
 But God

00:37:57.440 --> 00:37:58.039
 has been

00:37:58.039 --> 00:37:59.319
 gracious and

00:37:59.319 --> 00:37:59.880
 has shown

00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:00.839
 mercy to me

00:38:00.839 --> 00:38:01.299
 a sinner.

00:38:05.059 --> 00:38:05.900
 Paul says

00:38:05.900 --> 00:38:06.519
 something similar

00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:07.059
 in Ephesians

00:38:07.059 --> 00:38:07.659
 chapter 2.

00:38:07.659 --> 00:38:11.000
 You were dead

00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:11.699
 not wounded.

00:38:12.779 --> 00:38:13.719
 Dead in the

00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:14.799
 trespasses and

00:38:14.799 --> 00:38:15.899
 sins in which

00:38:15.899 --> 00:38:16.399
 you once

00:38:16.399 --> 00:38:17.019
 walked.

00:38:17.139 --> 00:38:17.920
 Not sick.

00:38:18.299 --> 00:38:18.920
 Not wounded.

00:38:19.179 --> 00:38:19.879
 Not hurt.

00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:20.679
 Not able to

00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:21.279
 brush yourself

00:38:21.279 --> 00:38:21.679
 off.

00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:22.420
 Not in need

00:38:22.420 --> 00:38:23.159
 of a band-aid.

00:38:23.399 --> 00:38:23.960
 Not able to

00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:24.559
 turn over a

00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:25.000
 new leaf.

00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:25.460
 You were

00:38:25.460 --> 00:38:26.139
 dead.

00:38:27.980 --> 00:38:28.659
 Following the

00:38:28.659 --> 00:38:29.259
 course of this

00:38:29.259 --> 00:38:29.559
 world.

00:38:30.699 --> 00:38:31.339
 Following the

00:38:31.339 --> 00:38:31.960
 prince of the

00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:32.579
 power of the

00:38:32.579 --> 00:38:32.819
 air.

00:38:32.899 --> 00:38:33.399
 The spirit

00:38:33.399 --> 00:38:34.339
 that is now

00:38:34.339 --> 00:38:35.319
 at work in

00:38:35.319 --> 00:38:36.639
 the sons of

00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:37.579
 disobedience.

00:38:38.319 --> 00:38:39.099
 Among whom

00:38:39.099 --> 00:38:39.879
 we all once

00:38:39.879 --> 00:38:40.440
 lived in the

00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:40.960
 passions of

00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:41.559
 our flesh.

00:38:42.019 --> 00:38:42.839
 Carrying out

00:38:42.839 --> 00:38:43.719
 the desires of

00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:44.779
 the body and

00:38:44.779 --> 00:38:45.719
 the mind and

00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:47.119
 were by nature

00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:48.339
 children of

00:38:48.339 --> 00:38:49.239
 wrath like the

00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:49.639
 rest of

00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:49.980
 mankind.

00:38:51.819 --> 00:38:53.059
 But God

00:38:53.059 --> 00:38:54.739
 being rich in

00:38:54.739 --> 00:38:56.359
 mercy because

00:38:56.359 --> 00:38:56.940
 of the great

00:38:56.940 --> 00:38:57.779
 love with which

00:38:57.779 --> 00:38:58.659
 he loved us

00:38:58.659 --> 00:38:59.719
 even when we

00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:00.259
 were dead in

00:39:00.259 --> 00:39:01.099
 our trespasses

00:39:01.099 --> 00:39:03.199
 made us alive

00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:04.159
 together with

00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:04.779
 Christ.

00:39:05.099 --> 00:39:05.900
 By grace you

00:39:05.900 --> 00:39:06.280
 have been

00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:06.960
 saved.

00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:09.740
 Raised us

00:39:09.740 --> 00:39:10.099
 up with

00:39:10.099 --> 00:39:10.539
 him and

00:39:10.539 --> 00:39:11.480
 seated us

00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:12.019
 with him in

00:39:12.019 --> 00:39:12.440
 the heavenly

00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:13.300
 places in

00:39:13.300 --> 00:39:14.180
 Christ Jesus

00:39:14.180 --> 00:39:15.000
 so that in

00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:15.420
 the coming

00:39:15.420 --> 00:39:16.400
 ages he

00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:17.019
 might show

00:39:17.019 --> 00:39:17.980
 the immeasurable

00:39:17.980 --> 00:39:19.039
 riches of

00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:20.099
 his grace in

00:39:20.099 --> 00:39:21.240
 kindness toward

00:39:21.240 --> 00:39:21.980
 us in

00:39:21.980 --> 00:39:22.820
 Christ Jesus.

00:39:23.900 --> 00:39:24.800
 Is that your

00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:25.700
 story friend?

00:39:28.260 --> 00:39:29.280
 Do you see

00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:30.559
 here your

00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:31.519
 wickedness?

00:39:32.720 --> 00:39:33.820
 Do you see

00:39:33.820 --> 00:39:34.400
 here your

00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:35.039
 sin and

00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:36.460
 your depravity?

00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:36.980
 Do you see

00:39:36.980 --> 00:39:37.840
 your guilt and

00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:38.980
 God's response

00:39:38.980 --> 00:39:39.940
 to your sin?

00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:41.220
 Do you see it?

00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:43.340
 Do you see

00:39:43.340 --> 00:39:43.920
 your need for

00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:44.380
 grace?

00:39:46.420 --> 00:39:47.180
 If so

00:39:47.180 --> 00:39:49.420
 call out to

00:39:49.420 --> 00:39:49.940
 the Lord and

00:39:49.940 --> 00:39:50.519
 ask him

00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:51.599
 Lord would you

00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:52.300
 would you show

00:39:52.300 --> 00:39:53.099
 mercy on a

00:39:53.099 --> 00:39:53.780
 sinner like me?

00:39:55.059 --> 00:39:55.559
 Would you be

00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:56.720
 gracious to a

00:39:56.720 --> 00:39:57.360
 sinner like me?

00:39:57.460 --> 00:39:57.720
 Would you

00:39:57.720 --> 00:39:58.840
 would you lead

00:39:58.840 --> 00:39:59.960
 me to trust in

00:39:59.960 --> 00:40:00.820
 the only provision

00:40:00.820 --> 00:40:01.940
 for my sin which

00:40:01.940 --> 00:40:02.519
 is the Savior

00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:03.400
 Jesus Christ?

00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:08.440
 Big problems

00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:09.159
 require big

00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:09.800
 solutions.

00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:12.759
 God's

00:40:12.759 --> 00:40:14.280
 solution for

00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:15.059
 the problem of

00:40:15.059 --> 00:40:15.960
 sin ultimately

00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:16.719
 as we'll see

00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:17.199
 over the next

00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:18.099
 several weeks is

00:40:18.099 --> 00:40:19.420
 not a flood.

00:40:19.579 --> 00:40:20.199
 This flood

00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:22.039
 as terrible as

00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:23.239
 it is is a

00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:25.019
 band-aid on

00:40:25.019 --> 00:40:25.679
 the bullet hole

00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:26.480
 of our sin.

00:40:28.019 --> 00:40:28.900
 The problem of

00:40:28.900 --> 00:40:30.159
 sin it needs a

00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:31.019
 much bigger

00:40:31.019 --> 00:40:31.940
 solution than

00:40:31.940 --> 00:40:32.880
 that to crush

00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:34.219
 the head of

00:40:34.219 --> 00:40:34.759
 the serpent.

00:40:35.219 --> 00:40:35.920
 God will

00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:37.239
 crush his own

00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:38.440
 son in our

00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:38.880
 place.

00:40:40.340 --> 00:40:41.500
 To peel back

00:40:41.500 --> 00:40:42.440
 the curse of

00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:43.300
 sin Christ

00:40:43.300 --> 00:40:44.320
 Jesus himself

00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:45.860
 will become a

00:40:45.860 --> 00:40:47.219
 curse for us.

00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:49.599
 On the cross

00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:51.139
 for our sake

00:40:51.139 --> 00:40:51.820
 for sinners

00:40:51.820 --> 00:40:52.980
 sake he made

00:40:52.980 --> 00:40:53.739
 him who knew

00:40:53.739 --> 00:40:54.539
 no sin to

00:40:54.539 --> 00:40:55.780
 become sin for

00:40:55.780 --> 00:40:57.159
 us so that in

00:40:57.159 --> 00:40:58.400
 him by faith

00:40:58.400 --> 00:40:59.759
 in him sinners

00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:00.680
 like us might

00:41:00.680 --> 00:41:01.680
 become the

00:41:01.680 --> 00:41:02.920
 righteousness of

00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:03.400
 God.

00:41:05.540 --> 00:41:06.180
 God's

00:41:06.180 --> 00:41:07.800
 solution for

00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:08.600
 the problem of

00:41:08.600 --> 00:41:09.200
 sin is the

00:41:09.200 --> 00:41:09.980
 gospel of Jesus

00:41:09.980 --> 00:41:10.520
 Christ.

00:41:11.780 --> 00:41:12.500
 The perfect

00:41:12.500 --> 00:41:13.780
 life, the

00:41:13.780 --> 00:41:15.440
 sacrificial death,

00:41:15.560 --> 00:41:16.240
 the victorious

00:41:16.240 --> 00:41:17.820
 resurrection of

00:41:17.820 --> 00:41:18.900
 the promised seed

00:41:18.900 --> 00:41:20.000
 of the woman so

00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:21.260
 that by grace

00:41:21.260 --> 00:41:23.680
 undeserving sinners

00:41:23.680 --> 00:41:24.640
 like us by

00:41:24.640 --> 00:41:26.120
 faith in him

00:41:26.120 --> 00:41:27.440
 can now walk

00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:28.860
 with God and

00:41:28.860 --> 00:41:30.200
 escape the curse

00:41:30.200 --> 00:41:31.159
 of sin and

00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:31.500
 death.

00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:32.700
 Amen.

00:41:34.260 --> 00:41:35.000
 Father we

00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:36.340
 praise you for

00:41:36.340 --> 00:41:36.860
 the gospel.

00:41:38.200 --> 00:41:39.019
 There's no hope

00:41:39.019 --> 00:41:39.720
 for sinners like

00:41:39.720 --> 00:41:40.420
 us apart from

00:41:40.420 --> 00:41:41.019
 your grace.

00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:43.860
 There's no hope

00:41:43.860 --> 00:41:44.800
 for us apart

00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:45.659
 from the

00:41:45.659 --> 00:41:46.700
 sacrifice, from

00:41:46.700 --> 00:41:47.579
 the life, from

00:41:47.579 --> 00:41:48.240
 the resurrection

00:41:48.240 --> 00:41:48.980
 of Jesus.

00:41:50.179 --> 00:41:51.000
 So we thank you

00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:51.880
 and we praise you

00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:52.920
 Lord for this

00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:54.220
 fulfilled promise,

00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:55.119
 the seed of the

00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:55.740
 woman who has

00:41:55.739 --> 00:41:57.279
 conquered sin and

00:41:57.279 --> 00:41:57.939
 conquered the

00:41:57.939 --> 00:41:58.519
 grave and

00:41:58.519 --> 00:41:59.159
 defeated our

00:41:59.159 --> 00:41:59.479
 enemy.

00:42:00.579 --> 00:42:01.299
 And we pray

00:42:01.299 --> 00:42:01.899
 Lord if there

00:42:01.899 --> 00:42:02.439
 are any who

00:42:02.439 --> 00:42:03.599
 don't know you

00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:04.179
 Lord who are

00:42:04.179 --> 00:42:05.659
 still wicked in

00:42:05.659 --> 00:42:06.379
 your sight God

00:42:06.379 --> 00:42:06.859
 would you by

00:42:06.859 --> 00:42:09.019
 your grace call

00:42:09.019 --> 00:42:09.579
 them to put their

00:42:09.579 --> 00:42:10.399
 faith in Christ

00:42:10.399 --> 00:42:11.500
 even this moment.

00:42:11.679 --> 00:42:13.219
 We pray all

00:42:13.219 --> 00:42:13.759
 this in Jesus

00:42:13.759 --> 00:42:14.139
 name.

 Amen.

00:42:15.339 --> 00:42:15.459
 Amen.

00:42:15.459 --> 00:42:15.459


00:42:15.459 --> 00:42:15.459


00:42:15.459 --> 00:42:15.459


00:42:15.459 --> 00:42:15.459


00:42:15.459 --> 00:42:15.459
